PURIFICATION

TAM-CHE DU-NI SA-ZHI-DAG
May the surface of the earth in every direction
SEG-MA LA-SOG ME-PA-DANG
Be stainless and pure without roughness or fault
LAG-TIL TAR-NYAM BE-DUR-YA
As smooth as the palm of a child's soft hand
RANG-ZHIN JAM-POR NE-GYUR-CHIG
And as naturally polished as lapis lazuli.
LHA-DANG MI-YI CHÖ-PAY-DZE
May the material offerings of gods and men
NGO-SU SHAM-DANG YI-KYI-TRUL
Both those set before me and those visualised
KUN-ZANG CHÖ-TRIN LA-NA-ME
Like a cloud of offerings of Samantabhadra1
NAM-KAY KAM-KUN KYAB-GYUR-CHIG
Pervade and encompass the vastness of space.

KON-CHOG SUM-GYI DEN-PA-DANG
By the force of the truth from the three Jewels of Refuge
SANG-GYE-DANG JANG-CHUB SEM-PA
By the firm inspiration from all Bodhisattvas and Buddhas
TAM-CHE-KYI JIN-GYI-LAB-DANG
By the power of all the Buddhas who have fully completed
TSOG-NYI YONG-SU DZOG-PAY
Their collections of both good merit and insight
NGA-TANG CHEN-PO-DANG
By the might of the void
CHO-KYI YING NAM-PAR DAG-CHING
Inconceivable and pure
SAM-GYI MI-KYAB-PAY TOB-KYI
May all of these offerings be hereby transformed
DE-ZHIN NYI-DU GYUR-CHIG
Into their actual nature of voidness
